Notes. In Hagen’s original description of Lais pruinosa , published in Selys (1853), the number of type specimens was not given, but later Selys & Hagen (1854: 93) stated: »M.Hagen a examiné cinq mâles et cinq femelles du Musée de Berlin pris au Brésil par Sellow«. The two males and the female found in the Berlin collection should therefore be considered syntypes. Rosser Garrison (pers. comm.) noted a further two syntype males in the Hagen collection at the MCZ and Jérôme Constant (pers. comm.) found two syntypes, one male and one female, in the collection of the IRSNB. André Nel (MNHN) checked the collection in Paris, but could not recognise any syntype. The whereabouts of the remaining three syntype females are still unknown.
